The Quatrac is Vredestein's Grand Touring All-Season tire developed for the drivers of coupes, sedans and station wagons looking for good dry and wet performance combined with confident light snow traction. The Quatrac is an all-weather tire meeting industry severe snow service requirements to qualify for the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol alongside its all-season performance.

The Quatrac features an all-season tread compound molded into a distinctive, directional, v-shaped pattern. Larger outboard blocks increase dry road cornering along with a connected center element helping maintain handling and steering response. The resulting large, open grooves effectively evacuate standing water for increased hydroplaning resistance and combine with two types of sipes for confident control in wet conditions. High-density siping and numerous off-angle blocks create the biting edges needed to provide light snow traction for stability in wintry weather conditions.

Internal construction of the Quatrac features twin steel belts for strength and durability, along with a single ply casing and reinforcement for comfort and high-speed stability.

Note: While non-winter tires featuring the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol may provide additional longitudinal snow traction beyond what all-season (M+S) tires not bearing the symbol can deliver, they do not match the capability of a true winter tire in all adverse weather conditions.

...Wet handling is fantastic - I don't feel a need to modify my driving style in heavy rain...

I can't say enough good things about these tires. Quality and performance for the price is outstanding. I've gone through two sets of these now: each set has consistently gotten me to around 30,000 miles before I start noticing that my tread is at 3-4/32". Wet handling is fantastic - I don't feel a need to modify my driving style in heavy rain. I have used these tires extensively in the mountainous parts of the western US without chains, and have been really impressed with their mild-moderate snow handling as well. These won't just let you do dumb things in the ice and snow, but I have had zero surprises on hard-packed trails, and have plowed through 4-6" of freshly-powdered camp site trails without sliding or getting stuck (but I also drive stick, so I can deal with snow a little more easily). I also feel confident maintaining appropriate travel speeds in blizzard-like conditions on major highways. These tires are both responsive and steadfast, and they are significantly more comfortable and quieter than the OEM tires that my car came new with. Now that I've also spent two sets of these, I can speak to Vredestein's manufacturing consistency: my experience between my first and second sets are identical in quality, performance, and tread life. I will happily continue to recommend and purchase these tires.

Bought these tires because my previous set was spinning out on wet pavement. I liked the aggressive tread design on the Vredstein tires and the fact that other drivers had given it a nine for wet road traction. No more spinning in first gear on wet roads.

Most customers rate winter traction highly with scores of 8-10. Snow and deep snow performance receive excellent ratings, with many 9s and 10s. Occasional lower ice scores don't overshadow strong all-season capability.

We moved to the mountains in Western Pennsylvania from the Philadelphia area. We quickly found out the tires we had couldn’t handle the constant snow, and honestly most people have all wheel drive. I can tell you, in the snow, these work. I pass cars and trucks going up mountains with these tires in the snow. Very impressed.

...They handle snow better than anything I've used, hard packed snow they will grip and do well in fresh powder, obviously not deep snow like 6 inches. They are obviously not full snow tires, I have FWD and they get me out of snow without an issue, if you're putting these on an AWD car, they'll probably be unstoppable...

Great tire does what It says, It is a solid all weather tire, got them in the fall, they perform well in higher temperature days 60 degree and low temp 4-11 degree days of January. The tire really shines in the wet and there's never a loss of grip. In the dry the tire is quite admirable, if you push it in corners you will feel some flex and get some noise from the treads. They are obviously not high performance summer tires like the ones on my other car. Tires are quite with little to no feedback. These are solid tires as an all arounder for the commuter, and they handle snow better than anything I've used, hard packed snow they will grip and do well in fresh powder, obviously not deep snow like 6 inches. They are obviously not full snow tires, I have FWD and they get me out of snow without an issue, if you're putting these on an AWD car, they'll probably be unstoppable. I usually rent a jeep for a ski trip to Lake Placid but I may just save money and take this car with these tires.

...Much, much better braking. It's actually hard to get into the ABS!...

Second time I've a set of these on my Miata. They're so much better that the Michelin Pilot Exactos that I've used on previous Miatas. Much, much better braking. It's actually hard to get into the ABS!
